Macon-Cruzille Blanc "Aragonite" Clos des Vignes du Maynes, Julian Guillot 2022

Clos des Vignes du Maynes, Julian Guillot, Mâcon

The Clos des Vignes du Maynes is part of the Burgundian tradition of registering plots by monks. Its origin dates back to the year 910, the date of creation of the Abbey in Cluny by the Duke of Aquitaine. Property of the Lords of the Château de Cruzille, the domaine then belonged to five generations of farmers before being bought in 1952 by Pierre and Jeanne Guillot.

From the beginning, Pierre and after him, his son Alain, elected to make wines using organic farming, without chemicals, without weedkillers, without insecticides and without sulfur. Julien joined the domaine in 1998, which he then transitioned to biodynamic agriculture. The Clos has never known chemistry and has always been cultivated with the greatest respect for the land since its origins.

The nose releases voluptuous aromas of exotic fruit and white flowers (acacia). Once it has opened up, the bouquet evolves,and notes of citrus fruit and pineapple may be distinguished along with pollen, truffle and grilled almond.
